More details to follow when Mark has put a list together.

But vaguely;

 

HKS Manifolds

Garrett Turbo's

Fuel Return System

Custom 3" TD exhaust

custom intercooler and piping

and all the other bits and bobs. but you get the idea.

 

Saves a fortune on shipping and tax costs.

 

480 looks easily achievable. and the stock HR block is good for 500 :teeth:

Nice to go custom mate but custom kits have no R&D and little problems with fitment that an off the shelf kit may not have.

 

What sort of price has mark given you fot the custom kit?? Also mate you car will be off the road ALONG time while things are fabbed up test fitted etc .

 

Good luck mate! :)

No prices yet, but shouldnt be too long.

 

Always gunna have fitment issues, as the GTM kit probs wont be properly set up for RHD, just an ad-hoc make up.

Gotta remember there are only 2 off the shelf kits for the HR engine.

 

The car off the road isnt an issue as I work away for 2 weeks at a time.

Not to mention that the way GTM are, I'd be waiting for months for them to send it all.

 

Lots of details still to iron out as you can imagine, and have only had an initail chat with Mark. But will know more soon.

Just a quick update.

 

This project is still very much on. Me and mark in contact and sorting out the best solutions for what Im after.

Currently trying to figure out what to do about exhausts as the 5Zigen is only 2.5". So we're thinking about cutting it out from manifold back to the twin cans and putting in a single race cat, then duel pipes back to the 5zigen cans.

 

We're back to the GTM 500bhp tuner kit.

Will be fitting a RFS too.

 

Well into 5 figures now......

Sounds juicy!! Can we get minute by minute updates, just like the Election!? :p

that would mean he'll go from TT setup to a split setup with some other person... like timesharing a flat or something? :surrender:

 

:lol:

I suppose he'll have to budget once it's over aswell? ;)

I'll be dropping her off with Abbey when I head to work (work on a ship) and picking her up 2 weeks later.

Im hoping Mark will be kind enough to take loads of pics throughout so I can post a full build thread when I get her back.

 

First thing we're finding out is how long its gunna take to get the GTM kit from the US.
